>PFFFFT, is right! The IRS puts the fear in people, by threatening them, and the Americans are so afraid, they become compliant. Did you know that it is unconstitutional to pay taxes if for example, Congress did not approve this war? But the masses never use the constitution to question or challenge their government.

Ok, I have to stop now...this is depressing."

>Today's masses don't realize how sucked-in they are, otherwise they would do something about it. They could revolutionize this country without shedding a drop of blood. But they are part of a big machine, who reproduces the same compliant people, generation after generation. Who remembers the great American Sociologist C.Wright Mills today?

*** In all honesty, I have never heard of the man. But now that you have mentioned his name, I could go and check out his writing. Thank you again.
